Dollar getting some dollars
Clicked on an ESPN article about the highest ever IU recruit (verbal) and it references J. Mayfield and another kid as part of Cig's recruiting class.

Ford's always make for a fun race car šŸ˜‚. Ford will tell you who the amateur is on the track very fast. There's a secret to racing a Ford and one of two things can happen somebody can be nice and tell you ahead of time or they can sit there and watch you learn your lesson the hard way šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚

With the turf conversations going on this morning, I just read where Forestviews new turf won’t be ready for the first game so Cramer gets another home game. Well shucks šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
I think y'all should give them 10 points to make it a fair trade off of getting an extra home game against them

We don’t have the football tradition of the Maiden Blue Devils. We have to take every break we can get.

Honest question though, does this affect RPI in anyway? Are home wins counted less than road wins?

We gonna be just fine.

Go back and look at Maidens JV team last year. That was one heck of a scrappy bunch that didn’t like to lose. They were in a war every week. I enjoyed every minute watching those boys play….well…except the Hibriten game. That Hibriten bunch had the best JV team I saw last year. Hibriten is definitely a 4a team that’s going to be tough to beat this fall. They got to be loaded!

Boom Devils! Vs Everdambody!

Can’t wait!

Hey hey hey…sometimes starting basketball players can be good football players…I may be a little biased saying that šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ˜‚šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
No doubt. I took it from a meme that suggests that there are those who want to play football and then those who need to reeexamine life choices after hearing that whistle and beingeither the walloper or the wallopee.

1000%….my youngest is playing tackle football for the first time as a rising 7th grader this year. I’m interested to see if he will like it once they start hitting with pads. I honestly don’t know whether he will or not. It is not for everyone and that’s ok. At least he is a good basketball player šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

I have seen some legit basketball players play one year of really good football and then stop to focus on basketball only. They were good slot receivers and potential starting quarterbacks.

Very ironic you said those positions….
I vividly remember seeing those players play those positions. I also remember a starting TE/DE stop playing football to concentrate on basketball. I also remember a backup quarterback who was quite good stop playing and went to play the drums in the band.

Looks like Lincolnton lost a kid to Lincoln charter
Here, we can expect to lose someone to Lincoln charter from time to time. So can the other Lincoln County schools?

Sure don’t look forward to the day, but I’m afraid LCS, will be a force in football. Athletics appear to have a place at the table in that administration.

Considering their achievements in basketball and baseball, it’s obvious they have a keen interest in football as well. Already they’ve brought in an accomplished coach, along with being in the process of constructing a new football stadium. Losing players to them will more than likely increase right after they’ve had a good year in football, which much to my dismay will probably be sooner than later.

These charter schools can have long tentacles, which could make surrounding schools, even some that are out of county, susceptible.
I wouldn’t call any names here, but one of those schools rhymes with Hayden (pronounced Hay dun).
